Creativity and the Civic-Minded Culture
Creativity and the Civic-Minded Culture is a course designed to help students explore the similarities and distinctions of the performing arts and creative design disciplines. Using real life case studies and narratives to design and create art for the future, this course will help students further investigate creative correlations to their day-to-day life.
Possible readings and topics of exploration include:
- Commercialization of Rap Music and Hip Hop Culture: "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man!" - Jay-Z, from "Diamonds from Sierra Leone," by Kanye West
- A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future, by Daniel Pink
- Going Green in Urban Communities
- The Aesthetic Principle: What does it mean and how do we define it?
- Por la Raza: Representations of people of color in mainstream Hollywood

Capstone Experience
Faculty and staff affiliated with the CADC believe civic engagement is an important part of our personal development. To that end, students will participate in a self-directed capstone/studio project during their spring semester. Projects may include developing an arts advocacy campaign, product presentations, community service, exhibitions or showcases of new works. The capstone experiences are prime opportunities for students to learn what it means to create in a semi-professional environment that is only limited by what they can imagine.
